SJMC Senator appointed; field resolution tabled

The Student Government Council at the Biscayne Bay Campus has moved the resolution to renovate the various recreational fields across BBC until the following senate meeting.

An ongoing process, which has seen two consecutive vetoes from SGC-BBC President, Denise Halpin, will be presented to her again before the next SGC-BBC Senate meeting on Oct. 17.

The issue is wording rather than content, according to Speaker of the Senate Pablo Haspel. A section of the resolution which mentions the words “bad field” had diction mistakes, which caused President Halpin to veto the resolution last week.
According to Haspel, Senator at Large Oluwatobi Adekoya drafted the original resolution, as further changes have been made in an attempt to appease Halpin’s concerns.

School of Journalism and Mass Communication Senator Appointed

Kevin Houston, a junior advertising major, was appointed as the School of Journalism and Mass Communication Senator by a vote of 4 to 1. A Palm Beach Community College transfer, Houston mentioned his goals of making improvements to The Beacon and Radiate FM prior to his appointment being voted upon.

However, it should be noted both The Beacon and Radiate FM are part of FIU Student Media, independent from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
